Pachaug: Difference between revisions

For the next two years, Pachaug (along with other cities, especially Housatonic) agitated for greater autonomy within Algoquona while treading carefully out of fear of central state reprisals. Following the Treaty of Narasseta, government crackdowns were reduced and by 2033, the cities formed a league seeking autonomy and independence with regards to its trade negotiations, demands that were repeatedly denied. During 2034-35 and the onset of the South Nysdra War, the focus of the two cities turned from a well-defined platform of autonomy was transformed into a single foreign policy goal: something the cities referred to as the "right of appeal" to Urcea, relying on the fact that the latter state often allowed for great autonomy in exchange for religious and military concessions. These demands were viewed with suspicion within Khurnwah as the two cities became viewed as potential fifth columnists within the country, especially as the Treaty of Narasseta began to break down in 2036. The dispute between the cities and central government became a near political crisis and it was thought the cities would be besieged by Algoquonan forces, but the sudden onset of Operation Mission Shield severely reduced the ability of Algoquona to respond to internal matters. The subsequent Operation Western Blizzard largely destroyed the ability of the government of Algoquona to project power, and Khurnwah began to turn to tribal and local militias to supplement its failing armed forces. Housatonic and Pachaug formed the "two cities force", known as "''Tokorua nga taone nui''" natively, in an effort to extract concessions from the government in exchange for military support. By 2 February, negotiations broke down as the Tokorua nga taone nui began its march on Khurnwah, defeating pro-government militias and surrounding the city on 11 February. Following a three day siege, the two cities called for arbitration from Urcea, terms that Algoquona found to be humiliating but nonetheless agreed to. On 27 February, the two cities and Algoquona agreed to the Treaty of Electorsbourg. Under the Treaty, the two cities would formally remain under the sovereignty of Algoquona but would become international charter cities under Urcean administration. Algoquona's acceptance of the treaty lead to further instability within the country, while the two cities prepared for greater stability and economic growth in the years ahead. The subsequent charter between Pachaug - which negotiated for itself - and Urcea was signed on 1 March and was to become effective on 3 March 2037.
